Pujadas Aluminium Casserole Without Lid Ø450

This Pujadas aluminium casserole is a large-format, lidless cooking vessel from the Century Aluminium range, built for professional kitchen use. Made from pure aluminium sheet, it is designed to handle the demands of daily volume cooking — braising, simmering, and preparing bulk batches across a busy service period.

Aluminium is well regarded in commercial kitchens for its ability to conduct heat quickly and evenly, which helps reduce the time and energy needed to bring large volumes up to temperature. The extra-thick base on this pan resists the warping that can occur with lighter cookware over prolonged heavy use, keeping the vessel in consistent contact with the heat source throughout service.

Key practical features include:

• Thick-gauge aluminium construction resists deformation under sustained heat
• Extra-thick base maintains full contact with the heat source, supporting even cooking
• Tubular stainless steel handles are heat-insulating, reducing burn risk during handling
• Handles secured with four rivets each, giving a firm, stable grip under load
• Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable

Being supplied without a lid, this pan suits operations where a lid is already held in stock, or where open cooking methods are the norm. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing lids before ordering if you intend to use it covered. Aluminium cookware of this size performs well on gas ranges and solid-top hobs; suitability for induction should be confirmed before purchase, as standard aluminium is not induction-compatible.

The Ø450 size is well suited to kitchens cooking for larger numbers — contract catering, hotel banqueting, and institutional kitchens where bulk preparation is routine. For lighter-volume operations, smaller pans from the same range may be more practical day to day. For sites needing a covered vessel from the outset, a casserole-with-lid option is also available in the catalogue.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which sizes suit your service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
